Keeping an A-Z index of Obsidian permanent notes by hand is the kind of task that quietly stops happening.

I built a Claude Code skill to keep it updated — about 10 minutes, runs at month-end. Here's how it works and why this kind of admin automation is the right entry point for AI in your vault: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/claude-code-skills-obsidian-vault-index/

I don't know what people do without a #Zettelkasten to learn and write about anything at all.

And I'd love to know what makes me so attracted to it precisely, and how to identify similarly-minded people to tell them about this amazing workspace.

Neues von meinem digitalen Zettelkasten: Bidirektionale Links in Joplin

Schon wieder habe ich Joplin, meinen digitalen Zettelkasten, ein wenig aufgebohrt und für mich noch nützlicher gemacht. Denn über diesen Beitrag von Robert Lender und seinen Verweis auf diese Quelle in Dirks Logbuch stieß ich auf das Plugin »Bidirectional Links«. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026043002_joplin_bidirektionale_links/ #Joplin #Zettelkasten

I'm working on a Zettelkasten notes app! I tried to keep the app minimalist and frictionless. For instance, notes don't need to be labeled or placed in a folder or in a tree. They can collect other notes in a list of transclusions, like a folder, but without the same strictness of placement.

I'm still working on this but wanted to share my notes on how it works 'cause it's been fun building it up. I'm still experimenting. You can find out more here: https://understory.ussherpress.com/

One thing I noticed from my quarterly Claude vault analysis: the 30-minute review was useful, but the specification note I'd built with Claude beforehand was doing most of the work.

'That specification note is carrying a lot of the weight — it provides all the context the model uses.'

The AI is only as good as the context you give it. Full post: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/ai-obsidian-vault-analysis/

When Claude analysed my Obsidian vault, it mapped disconnected note clusters — groups that don't connect to the rest.

My clusters: AI and tech (unsurprising), gaming, personal finance, health and pressure.

What surprised me: it didn't flag philosophy, which I'd have expected.

Has anyone else run an AI analysis of their PKM? What did it find about your knowledge clusters?

Statische Seiten: Ist Zensical der legitime Nachfolger von MkDocs (Material)

Als ich im Juni letzten Jahres MkDocs (genauer: Material für MkDocs) wiederentdeckte, war ich fasziniert. Denn mit diesem freien (BSD-Lizenz), in Python geschriebenen, Markdown-basierten Generator für statische Seiten, hatte ich bereits sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026042101_zensical/ #MkDocs #Zensical #Markdown #StatischeSeiten #Zettelkasten #Webworking

When I asked Claude Code to analyse my Obsidian vault, it structured the review into six sections:

• Knowledge gaps — orphan concepts, underdeveloped literature notes
• Connection patterns — 91.5% of notes linked (not bad)
• Processing pipeline health
• MOC coverage
• Content opportunities
• Workflow stats

Each surfaced something worth acting on. https://www.ctnet.co.uk/ai-obsidian-vault-analysis/
